[Intro]
C#m E A  E
[Verse 1]
AAll I ever wanted
Was a Ewalk down the road
AWith you there holding my Earm
C#mBut the hoot owl Emoans
AFor me all Ealone
Tell me pretty baby
Are you really gonna Bbreak my Eheart?
[Verse 2]
AHas it all been a lie
No I Ecan't believe that
ATell me what I hear isn't Etrue
Is the C#mowl in the Eoak tree
The Aonly one here Ewith me
Tell me pretty baby
Are you really gonna Bbreak my heart?
[Instrumental]
C#m  E  A  E B A
[Verse 3]
AIs it death or livin
That Escares me the most
Or is it Ajust plain bein Ealone
Seems I'm C#malways Ealone
When that Ahoot owl Emoans
Tell me pretty baby
Are you really gonna Bbreak my heart?
[Chorus 1]
Don't C#mcall me, don't Ewrite me
And I'll Aleave you Ealone
So we can forget what Awe had
The C#mowl can conEsole me
With his Amidnight Etune
But I don't think I've ever
Felt so Bsad
[Chorus 2]
So I draw all the Ecurtains
And I lock all the doors
And I Adream of that walk
Down the Eroad
But the C#mhoot owl awakes Eme
And a Acold shiver Eshakes me
Tell me pretty baby
Are you really gonna Bbreak my heart?

C#m

[Intro]

C#m E A E

[Verse 1]

All I ever wanted

Was a walk down the road

A E

With you there holding my arm

C#m E

But the hoot owl moans

A E

For me all alone

Tell me pretty baby

B E

Are you really gonna break my heart?

[Verse 2]

Has it all been a lie

No I can't believe that

A E

Tell me what I hear isn't true

C#m E

Is the owl in the oak tree

A E

The only one here with me

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?

[Instrumental]

C#m E A E B A

[Verse 3]

Is it death or livin

That scares me the most

A E

Or is it just plain bein alone

C#m E

Seems I'm always alone

A E

When that hoot owl moans

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?

[Chorus 1]

C#m E

Don't call me, don't write me

A E

And I'll leave you alone

So we can forget what we had

C#m E

The owl can console me

A E

With his midnight tune

But I don't think I've ever

Felt so sad

[Chorus 2]

So I draw all the curtains

And I lock all the doors

And I dream of that walk

Down the road

C#m E

But the hoot owl awakes me

A E

And a cold shiver shakes me

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?
